Also sprach Cruiser: That is an unfair ploy people use to distort what someone said. I am guessing it was just an oversight, correct?

Not so, gentle reader. Absolutely incorrect.

The edited quotation is a referent, employed to avoid taking up space unnecessarily. The presumption being that you, gentle reader - even unto the slightly to moderately brain damaged - seeing the ellipses will know that something has been redacted and may resort to the full text of the original by dint of the onerous task of scrolling back several posts.

Now we have established, dear reader, that placing the ellipsis indicates that something has been left out. Surely were I attempting the alleged nefarious practices, my machiavellian intellect would suggest that I not give myself away quite so readily.

Now, as to the pervasive "oral sex is not real sex" argument, gentle reader, this demonstrably predates the Clintons by decades if not milennia. Surely Clinton's behavior has had the same deep and lasting effect on teenage behavior as did Nancy Reagan's fatuous and idiotic 'Just say no'.
